Provide rich feedback using digital ink, text and voice annotations right on images and PDFs, and then add your students’ best work to personalized digital portfolios that can be securely shared with parents.

WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SAYING

“Showbie is my number one can't live without app! It makes the iPad workflow process a breeze! I especially love how it works seamlessly with so many other apps.”

— Kristen Paino, Lead Technology Integrator at Avenues: The World School

“I don't need to convince my colleagues that they need to use this app — it sells itself. I like that it gives me the flexibility in how I choose to grade my student's work, especially with the voice notes feature. There is no single third party app that I would rather champion.”

“I love that Showbie is so versatile that the youngest of students can use it independently, yet it is appropriate for older grades as well. The ease of use makes it a great workflow solution for classes with iPads.”

If my son is too obsessed with online games, I think he should suspect mental nervous system diseases like gambling dependency.

The World Health Organization (WHO) classified the gaming disorder as a mental illness that could not be handed over to other games, such as online games, "said Nihon Keizai of Japan. "Do you have any of these backed up data?"

According to the newspaper, WHO published a new International Classification of Diseases (ICD) -11, released in June, which included gaming disorders alongside gambling disabilities. If so, what are the criteria for a game disability? ① The game does not control the time and frequency of continuing the game ② The game takes precedence over other lifestyle concerns and daily activities ③ Continues the game or gets even worse when problems occur ④ Because of the game, If the problem of serious trouble occurs for more than 12 months, it is considered as a game failure.

◆ "I have no problems"?

According to Dr. Higuchi Susumu, Director of the Kurihama Medical Center, which established the internet dependence treatment research division for the first time in Japan in 2011, It takes priority over attention or routine behavior). Conflicts arise in life as securing time for games becomes a top priority. The second thing is necessary for living, such as eating, sleeping, and excretion. It should be treated as a disease as a dependency, not a mere game enjoyment.

"I do not think it's a problem to play games," said a first-year high school boy who was drawn by his mother's hand and visited the Internet-game-dependent outpatient clinic of the Kobe University Hospital. I worry about my grades, but contends that "not because of the bad game, but because of the way I study." According to Professor Ichiro Sora, a professor of psychiatry in Kobe University who diagnosed a student, he tells his wife that if they talk to each other carefully, "I am uneasy because I can not be promoted like this." I spend about an hour talking and getting a clue of treatment. Similar to drug dependence.

Kobe University Hospital and Kurihama Hospital Center are booked for about two months. The patient is male and junior high. This is just a tip of the iceberg, and many people are not being screened. Professor Sora Kobe believes that the number of patients is likely to be as high as the level of alcohol dependency, which is estimated to be millions of people in Japan.

◆ How to diagnose and treat

The newspaper asks the question as to whether changes in brain structures or movements, such as drug dependence, continue as they play online games. Currently, research using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other test data has just begun. It was Higuchi Kurihama Medical Center Director who suggested that ICD-11 include gaming disorders. We started collaborative researches with Kurihama Medical Center and dependency, and during the international conference, the data became more and more understandable. "I did not know it would be such a big problem," Higuchi repeated.

The Spanish research team 's research on video games, including video games, included about 15 video games per year in the 1990s, but more than 350 in 2015. The study of the relationship between the cranial nerves and the brain 116 is mostly about analyzing changes in brain function.

Brain function is functional MRI (fMRI) and can be checked based on changes in blood flow. It has been shown that there is a relationship between the impaired function of the part of the brain responsible for impulse control (frontal forebrain, frontal part of the frontal lobe) and the risk of becoming a game disorder.

In the case of a suspected gaming disorder, the American psychiatrist often conducts an Internet dependency test, which he devised in the 1990s. If the patient checks out 20 items that match him or herself and reaches 70 or more, he or she will be judged as dependent. The score tends to be low and results are only used as a reference.

At the time of treatment, the patient should be kept away from the game and a combination of exercise, meal, conversation, psychotherapy, etc. Kurihama Medical Center also has accommodation camp. Patients who repeat violent violence with nervousness are encouraged to enter the hospital. Most of all, Higuchi says it is important to continue treatment.

It is also important to make sure that there are no other mental illnesses. Twenty percent of patients who have been screened for Internet dependency at Kurihama Medical Center also have ADHD symptoms. Although there are no gaming treatment drugs, it is noteworthy that the problem of losing reason during drug treatment of ADHD is reduced.

◆ A new posting for 'game disease'

ICD refers to the definition and classification of diseases and symptoms as determined by WHO. By using global notation, it is possible to collect more accurate statistical data, which helps to grasp the situation of each country and compare internationally. ICD-11 will be submitted to the General Assembly next May and approved. The current ICD-10 was set in 1990, and it has been 29 years since it was revised this time. If the ICD is formally included in the game disorder that has been recognized in the medical field so far, the basis for diagnosing it as one of the diseases becomes clear. In addition to being helpful in therapeutic studies, patients also have the advantage of being able to say "I am going to rest my school or work due to illness and devote myself to treatment".

There is also concern about the inclusion of ICD in gaming disabilities. There is criticism that the increasing number of mental illnesses is only to please pharmaceutical companies looking for new markets. The US game industry is demanding the revision of ICD-11 in the face of tightened regulations. The American Entertainment Software Association has also issued a statement that "there is no objective basis for defining and diagnosing gaming disorders."

과기정통부와 항우연은 오는 2021년 2월 누리호 본 발사를 위한 수순을 밟을 예정이다. 그러나 이번 발사가 실패했다고 판단되면 동일한 형태의 시험발사체를 내년 10월 재발사할 것으로 예상된다./사진제공=항우연Nuri test launch project launch in afternoon ... 140sec successEnter article 2018-11-28 09:00 Last modified 2018-11-28 09:14[Money Today] By Kim Se-kwan [May 28, 2007]The Korean launch vehicle (KSLV-2) 'Nuriho' will be launched in the afternoon on October 28 with a single-stage test vehicle projected with domestic technology.According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Information and Communication and Korea Aerospace Research Institute, the launch vehicle for the Nuri test is waiting for the launch after completion of the NIRA Space Center. It will be launched at around 4:00 pm if the weather conditions that have a significant impact on the launch are met.The test launch will be conducted to test the performance of a 75-ton (t) liquid engine for the Korean launch vehicle Nuri. There are three complete stages of the Nuri Lake. It consists of four 75-ton engines, one 75-ton engine, and one 7-ton engine. Of these, the two-end 75-ton liquid engine is the test launch vehicle. The total length is 25.8m and the maximum diameter is 2.6m.The launch vehicle is a launch vehicle that does not enter the space orbit. It will reach a maximum altitude of about 300 seconds after about 160 seconds after launching from the space center in Goheung, and it will drop to the high seas between Jeju Island and Japan Okinawa after 600 seconds.Regardless of the flight distance or altitude of the test projectile, the Ministry of Information and Communication said it would be considered to have achieved its normal propulsion if the burning time exceeded 140 seconds. This is because the volatility of the values ​​such as the flying distance and the altitude are large depending on weather conditions.If the test launch is successful, it seems that the production of the Korean launch vehicle Nuri-finished body will be resilient. It also means that Korea has secured its own engine with its own power.In February 2021, the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) and the Ministry of Unification will take steps to launch the Nuri Lake. However, if it is judged that the launch is unsuccessful, it is expected that the test launch vehicle of the same type will be reissued in October next year.

A Positive Comment Campaign in class.
In middle schools in Korea, grades required for high school are finalized before December.
After that, the teacher can do various activities for the students in class.

I would like to have students read and write articles on Internet newspapers.
Provide and participate in articles that may be of interest to students.

Nowadays, students lack the ability to read and understand the meaning.
So, students will practice to read a lot of texts.

And students should write positive comments directly on the article.

Many people hurt others with negative comments. I will give a lot of habits to write positive comments to students.

I introduced one site to students before I started the class in earnest.

Site address: http://sun-full.org/page/main.php

I will introduce Sunfull (positive comment in Korean).

Positive comment campaign
Sunfull Exercise is a global online positive comment campaign that provides encouragement and hope for people with malicious comments posted on websites and social media. We strive to raise public awareness of the damage and suffering that can cause unjustified, malicious comments to victims. We are turning the Internet into a friendly, more civilized public domain.

The Sunfull movement urges the public to respect their lives and the values ​​of others in order to raise public awareness. It strives to change the behavior and mindset of the netizens by encouraging them to post positive and cheerful comments on the Internet website.

Global Internet Peace Movement
Since 2007, Sunfull has worked with hundreds of thousands of people to deliver millions of messages to people who are suffering from cyberbullying, natural disasters, and terrible global affairs, to express their condolences.

The Sunfull Movement, the Global Internet Peace Movement, spreads messages of tide and encouragement in response to global disasters and crises. Past special commentary campaigns have been held on charges of shooting for US Sandy Hook, Sichuan Province, China Earthquake, Paris, France Terrorism, Kumamoto, Japan Earthquake, Australian Wildfire and Maria, Irma, Harvey America Hurricane.

Join Sunfull Exercise
Currently, more than 7,000 schools and organizations are participating in the Sunfull exercise and have more subscriptions each month.

Sunfull Exercise is looking for people from other countries who can introduce Sunfull to schools and communities. The Sunfull approach will help students and communities around the world understand the impact of posting negative feedback to others, and Sunfull's positive feedback will provide hope and encouragement to those who are attacked via the Internet.

Sunfull's vision will contribute greatly to the peace of the world by overcoming barriers to our hearts against others if everyone around the world publishes positive comments and uses the right language.

1. Social Background
end. What is the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
1) The Fourth Industrial Revolution is aimed at a world of intelligent customization through connection, decentralization / decentralization, sharing / opening.
2) mobilize various technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and block chain to build intelligent world
3) In order to make the intelligence of the customized era, we connect all the contents of the real world to the virtual world, and predict and fit it in the virtual world through big data / artificial intelligence analysis and apply it to the real world
I. Explanation of terms related to the 4th Industrial Revolution
1) AI (Artificial Intelligence): The intelligence created from the machine. It refers to the intelligence created by the system, or artificial intelligence, with ideal intelligence in computer engineering. Example: Google's Alpha, Amazon's Alexa
2) Internet (IOT): A technology that connects sensors and communication functions to objects by connecting them to the Internet. That is, it means a technology for connecting various objects through wireless communication. The artificial intelligence technology that allows users to exchange information with the user through internet,
3) Cloud service: I store my information in a storage space somewhere on the Internet, and it is a technology that can be called up through various terminals I have when I need it. Among the various cloud computing technologies, services that have been very popular recently. The number of devices that can access the Internet, such as smartphones, tablet computers, and IPTV, has increased significantly, and the number of people with multiple handsets has also increased dramatically. I often see 'where was the last photo I took' There was a situation where you could not know where your content was. After all, as a result of the euphoria, I want to have a store where I can see the equipment I have! It was made for the purpose of.
4) Big Data: A technology that extracts values ​​from data, including unstructured data sets that are not large quantities or even database types, beyond the capabilities of existing database management tools and analyze the results. The development of Big Data Technology, which is characterized by the generation, collection, analysis and expression of various kinds of large-scale data, makes it possible to more accurately predict and effectively operate a diversified modern society, to provide customized information for individualized modern society members, Management, and analysis, and realizes technologies that were not possible in the past. Thus, Big Data presents the possibility of providing valuable information to society and mankind in all areas including politics, society, economy, culture, and science and technology, and its importance is highlighted
5) VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Virtual Reality): Virtual reality refers to a specific environment or situation, or technology itself, that is similar to the reality created by artificial technology using computers, but not actual. Augmented reality is a field of virtual reality. It is a computer graphics technique that combines virtual objects or information into a real environment and makes it look like objects in the original environment. Frequent use in digital media

2. Student characteristics change
end. Z-generation: means the next generation of the Millennium generation in the United States. Although there is no standard for accurate generation, demographers generally classify generations born from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s to the late 2000s and early 2010 as the Z-generation.
1) Characteristics of the Z-generation
- Process information faster than other generations.
- They are constantly changing, hating textbooks and living in a constantly updated information world.
- Quickly and efficiently switch between tasks and games. You can distribute them in multiple notes in the background and perform multiple tasks at the same time.
- They want a more independent work environment and 72% say they want to start their own business someday.
She is fluent on five screens (TV, phone, laptop computer, tablet and desktop computer).
- I want short, image-filled "snackable" content. They do not like long descriptions.

2) Video education through smart devices is helpful for Z-generation.

- Simple video for short focus
The average instant concentration of Z generation students is about 8 seconds. The vast amount of information expressed in long sentences is obsolete. The video is a high-level summary of the information and is explained in a simple, video-based way. This information, in turn, encourages high participation by students.

- Mobility and Accessibility
Thanks to multiple smart devices, students can access visual information anytime, anywhere. This allows students to get information whenever they want. Because of their accessibility, these videos can be played repeatedly, regardless of location and time. Creators can display the information they want on the video screen and can be played anywhere in the world. This can help students to learn self-directed everywhere.
- Visual learning
Adobe (Programmers) announced that more than 50% of students and teachers view "what they see" as the most effective learning experience. Students will be able to get videos and various types of information related to them through search.
- Simple message
Students need a small piece of information that they can understand to process information faster and remember it. Videos that exist on the Internet adhere to app concepts that use images, keywords, attractive design layouts, user-friendly interfaces, and simple sentence structures.
- Easy to update various information and contents
Internet videos are not bound to topics. The possibilities are endless! Teachers do not have time to use the entire textbook, but they can create or search for appropriate descriptive videos, which can help students to understand content more deeply, significantly reducing their work time. And since most video content is not only recent, but also accessible 24x7, it's easier to fix and update information compared to textbook updates.

You must evaluate and record students during the class.
Using a paper checklist is a good idea, but it is inconvenient.
Now, use smart devices to easily evaluate your students at any time.
Express students with cute characters and show them directly to students through big screen.
It can also be used to randomly select students to present.

A while ago WhatsApp had a conversation about stickers with Apple.
But the results are not good.
WhatsApp has announced that they will not use the samples they provide when posting stickers in the Apple App Store.
Developers must develop their own unique interfaces.
Is it possible to develop a new interface each time I create a new character sticker?
Xcode provides a sticky app sample for iMessage.
And the sticker app that uses it is not rejected.
They need to improve on this problem.

Here's what WhatsApp has to say.

iOS Stickers Apps for WhatsApp

Overview

If you would like to design your own stickers for WhatsApp, you can package them in an iOS app. You will need to distribute your app via the App Store. Users who download and install your sticker app will be able to add your stickers to their WhatsApp sticker picker/tray, and start sending those stickers from within WhatsApp. A separate app is necessary and it will reside on your phone's home screen just like any other app. Once you add the stickers from the app to WhatsApp, you can remove or uninstall the app from your phone and continue to send those stickers. Stickers on WhatsApp must be legal, authorized, and acceptable. Learn more about acceptable use of our services at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#terms-of-service.

The sample code provides a simple way for you to drop in your sticker art and build an iOS app with minimal development or coding experience needed. Importantly, while you may use most of the underlying code in our sample app, you must make sure to develop a unique user interface with your own styling to comply with Apple's App Store guidelines. Do not use our sample app's UI as is. You must significantly modify the UI before submitting your app to Apple. For advanced developers looking to make richer sticker apps, refer to the section Advanced Development below.

We recommend you create a version of your sticker app for Android as well to give users of WhatsApp on Android an opportunity to download your sticker app as well.

GETTING STUDENTS INVESTED: THE POWER OF INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING

The class responds with blank stares, the kind that could last the entire period if I let it kill my excitement. I can already see the class clowns waiting for the right moment to pounce on me. But watch this: “A budget is a tool you can use so you can do whatever you want with your money–and hopefully have more.”

The Story of Jason

More money? Now I have their attention. Even the skeptics are quiet. I have about five seconds before they challenge me. “Let’s jump right into it,” I continue, “On the smart board, we’ve got two columns: income and expenses. In this example, we’re going to look at creating monthly expenses for an imaginary student named Jason who just graduated from high school. How much do you think he spends on rent? Call it out.”

All sorts of ideas come flying out, from $100 to $3,000 to someone who insists that “Jason lives at home, yo he don’t pay rent.” We all have a laugh. Everyone’s budget is going to look different, I explain. We plug $100 into the budget for now, and I ask them what about groceries? We’ll multiply a weekly estimate by four. Everyone calls out their best guesses. They argue over how much is too much or too little, and everyone falls skeptically silent when I say I normally only allow myself $40 per week for groceries and sometimes just $20. In New York City? Yes, anywhere.

Applying Storytelling to Real-World Application

“It’s all about choices. Some people chose to spend more on groceries, less on rent. It’s all about making the numbers work for you. We’ll talk more about that later. How much for clothes? Travel? Going out and having fun? There are no right or wrong answers.”

We fill out the other category expenses for a total of $1,000 a month, then compare that to Jason’s part-time income working at McDonald’s: $300. A third cell calculates the difference of the income and expenses: every month, Jason is in the red by $700.

Now it’s time to raise the stakes: “Let’s say Jason wants to go on a date with his significant other; that will cost $120. Does he have money?”

“No!” says the class, laughing. We reduce the grocery budget by half. Instantly, we see how much closer Jason is to reaching his goal. Now he’s only in the red by $600. Once we get Jason into the black by reducing his expenses (and/or getting a better job), we can see how long it will take him to reach his goal in another cell which divides the goal by the difference. If Jason makes a $30 profit every month, it will take him four months to reach his goal. Does he want to wait that long? His date is tomorrow. What else can we do?

Advantages of Interactive Storytelling

Everyone’s excited to share ideas and laugh at Jason. Since he’s imaginary, nobody gets embarrassed. But since his story is so relatable, they get emotionally invested in helping Jason go on this date. They always root for their peers who volunteer to create a budget and have real goals like going to college, becoming a doctor, bringing family member over from Pakistan, starting a business, or maybe just buying the latest iPhone.

Well, how soon do you want the iPhone? How much are you willing to sacrifice for it? How hard do you want to work for it? I offer suggestions, but they can see for themselves what happens when we plug in the numbers together. It’s my favorite game show and interactive story ever told on a smart board–or whiteboard if we’re doing the calculations by hand. You can access the spreadsheet I used and make a copy for your own lesson here.

This presentation has worked in dozens of inner-city schools in New York City and New Jersey. Over a thousand students have participated in planning imaginary Jason’s future. Hopefully, a significant number of them will use these budgeting skills to plan their own.

I think what made this lesson successful, compared to the times I tried lecturing about my experiences and strategies, was that I give them control of Jason’s story, to precede the control they will have over their own stories. I am the facilitator of this activity, and they are the instructors. It’s a space where they can play and decide for themselves if imaginary Jason was wise to spend $600 on clothes every month and wait five years before he can afford the new iPhone.

Applying Interactive Storytelling Across the Curriculum

Interactive storytelling can apply to any subject!

Imagine a choose-your-own-adventure activity for history class to see how hard it was for Lincoln to keep the country together.

In physics class, we could be measuring tennis ball bounces to design an imaginary lunar landing craft.

In English class, we can write essays to convict or defend Poe’s narrators.

Everything we teach in the classroom can apply to real life, but sometimes it takes a little bit of imagination to get students to think in the moment to the point that they’re so invested they stop asking why we’re learning it.

He’s been working with kids for more than a decade as a teaching artist and volunteer at Camp Possibilities, a summer camp for diabetic children.
